It was wet and muddy and left a few players on their backs without being touched.\u00a0It was especially\u00a0difficult for the Brahmas whose greatest strength is their\u00a0speed. \u00a0It was a game that was physical and\u00a0winning the battle up front was key. The Conquerors made big plays in the first half to take a lead and then used their\u00a0ground game \u00a0to control the clock and wear down Diamond Bar in the second half\u00a0to seal the win.<\/p>\n<p>***On the opening kick off Los Altos&#8217; kick landed at the Diamond Bar 25 and it appeared as if the ball would bounce out of bounds. It didn&#8217;t and Los Altos fell on it. Diamond Bar&#8217;s gaffe set\u00a0 up a 31 yard field goal to put LA up 3-0 with 9:33 left\u00a0in the first.<\/p>\n<p>***On the Brahmas first possession, Tyler Peterson threw a pick six\u00a0to Daniel\u00a0Valdez at the 7:53 mark for a 10-0 Los Altos\u00a0advantage.<\/p>\n<p>***Diamond Bar then drove down to the Conqueror\u00a0six on its next possesion but was stopped on\u00a0fourth and goal.<\/p>\n<p>***Early in the second LA quarterback Christian Hacegaba had a snap sail over his head\u00a0and the rolled towards the Los Altos goal line. As the D-Bar defense swarmed for what looked like an apparent safety\u00a0Hacegaba threw a desperation pass\u00a0to a wide open Andrew Hernandez who went 63 yards deep into Brahma territory.\u00a0The drive was capped when Hacegaba found Hernandez again for a seven-yard touchdown for a 17-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>***Diamond Bar battled back\u00a0for two second quarter scores. Peterson hit Cordell Broadus for a one yard touchdown and\u00a0the Brahmas&#8217; quarterback also ran in from six yards\u00a0out with just 13 seconds left in the first half to slice the lead\u00a0to 17-14.<\/p>\n<p>***The Conqs put it away in the fourth with two scores.<\/p>\n<p>***Los Altos improves to 5-1 overall and 1-1 in league while Diamond Bar drops to 5-2, 2-1 in the Hacienda.<\/p>\n<p>***Los Altos hosts Rowland next week while the Brahmas\u00a0will stay home to battle Diamond Bar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Joseph Rodriguez (Hacienda Heights) &#8211; This is the time of year that all high school football teams\u00a0start to put everything together.
